Explanatory notes
1
The following apply to the performance of all outcomes of this unit standard:
a
All work practices must meet recognised codes of practice and documented
worksite health and safety and environmental procedures (where these exceed
code) for personal, product and worksite health and safety, and must meet the
obligations required under current legislation, including the Health and Safety in
Employment Act 1992, the Resource Management Act 1991, and their
subsequent amendments.
b
All work practices must meet documented worksite quality management
requirements. This includes the recording (by electronic or non-electronic
means) of activities, events, and decisions.
c
All communications must be made in accordance with worksite procedures for
content, recipient, timing and method.
2
Definition
Worksite policies and procedures refer to documented policies and to documented or
other directions provided to staff. These include, but are not limited to, ways of
managing health and safety, environmental considerations, quality, and production,
and must conform to legislation. Examples include standard operating procedures,
company health and safety plans, on-site briefings, and supervisor’s instructions.
Outcomes and evidence requirements
Outcome 1
Identify materials and establish overlay press operating parameters.
Evidence requirements

1.4
Methods of achieving customer requirements for surface texture and finish are
selected to meet pressing equipment and resin type.
Range
1.5

texture, multiple overlays, resin type, caul mats.
Press operating parameters are established to correspond to identified
materials and customer requirements.
Range

pressure cycle, press temperature, time in press.
Outcome 2
Solve bonding problems in overlay bonding operations.
Evidence requirements
2.1
Problem causes and potential solutions are identified using available data.
Range
2.2
problems include but are not limited to – bowing, scratches, dents,
torn paper, incorrect paper positioning on substrate, double paper,
panels sticking to press, temperature variation over panel, surface
defects, foreign matter, delamination, dust contamination, incorrect
colour, incorrect gloss level, blowing.
Best solution is selected and evaluated with regard to worksite policies and
procedures.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors
and assessors, and special resource requirements.
